Chapter 132

We decided to leave bailigou. According to the terrain, bailigou seems to be the only way to chilao peak. However, Xu Changfu is also the first time to set foot in this place. He is also unfamiliar with the environment and region here. If he rashly turns around and creates a shortcut halfway, he is likely to waste more time around detours. We have no other choice but to cross the deep and long bailigou.

Before entering the mountain, we thought too simply about looking for ginseng essence. Standing in the position of Xu Changfu, he always thought that our purpose was just to collect a fresh ginseng, which led to inadequate preparation. In the past two days when we crossed bailigou, we had eaten the dry food we carried, and there were no straw sheds built by ginseng collectors along the way, As night fell, we had to sleep in ice and snow.

These two days, we suffered a lot, but Xu Changfu was happy in it. Along the way, the number of ginseng he collected has been increasing. There are at least more than 20 plants in the sack. Moreover, the age is not low, and one of them is a hard to find five leaf product. Of course, the one thing that makes Xu Changfu happy most is that we insist on never taking a share of these gains.

Another day later, bailigou is far away from our vision, and chilao peak is getting closer and closer to us. If the road is smooth and there are no other accidents on the way, according to the terrain, we need more than half a day to reach chilao peak at most.

It's only a few minutes after 5:00 p.m. although it's early, it's cold in winter and the night is long and white. After a while, the sky will be completely dark. We quickly chose a mountain depression and made preparations for the night while it's not completely dark.

A world of ice and snow was collected by Ling Bai and Loran, who were responsible for collecting Shibaki Kimie nearby. Our three men took turns to shovel a snow pit with the only shovel.

We crowded in the snow pit and surrounded the fire. After a long time, we gradually became warm. It was cold and cold, but there was still a way to solve it. However, at this time, we searched all the backpacks containing dry food, and the rest of the dry food was far from enough to supply the five zang organs temple for five people.

Roland said, "now we have only this food left. We haven't reached chilaofeng yet. What should we do next?"

Jiang Yilong said, "next, it's not easy to have a good night alone."

I said, "let's bear it, divide this food equally, make do with it for one night, and find a way tomorrow."

"Well, you share the food and I'll go to the woods." Bai Ling was about to leave. Xu Changfu immediately stopped her and hurriedly said, "what are you doing with a girl? I'm familiar with the barren mountains and wild forests. I can beat a snow rabbit roe deer while it's not dark yet."

Before we could say anything, Xu Changfu had left with a shotgun. When Jiang Yilong and I looked at Bai Ling, we understood Bai Ling's intention. However, Xu Changfu had gone far into the woods. Even if he was called, he was afraid he would not come back. He simply let him go. After all, Xu Changfu has his experience and way of survival when dealing with deep mountains and forests all year round.

Half an hour later, Xu Changfu didn't return. The five zang organs temple was empty and noisy. We divided the rest of the food and dry food equally and left Xu Changfu a share. They ate their own share of food and barely padded their stomachs.

Jiang Yilong said, "where do you think the group is now?"

Roland said, "we can't protect ourselves now. You still have the heart to worry about others."

"Aren't you idle now?" said Jiang Yilong. "Except for the unlucky man found in bailigou before, we haven't found any traces left by them since we left bailigou. Do you think those people have left the mountain?"

Bai Ling said, "they entered the mountain two or three days earlier than us and appeared in bailigou. If we have left, we should be able to bump into them halfway into the mountain."

I said, "there was a heavy snow the other day. It's impossible to find the traces left by them. According to the terrain, passing through bailigou is chilaofeng. They ventured into the mountain to find the king of ginseng. That is, these people are now in chilaofeng. I hope they don't get ahead of them."

Bai Ling said: "it's not likely. After all, ginseng... King ginseng is not ordinary ginseng, and it's not so easy to find."

Roland said, "we came here thousands of miles and suffered all the way. Now we have to go hungry. Should you tell me why you came to the king of ginseng? It can't be to use it to sell money?"

Jiang Yilong said, "it's no use talking to you."

"Why are you so..."

Roland's face sank. Listening to her tone and the smell of gunpowder, for fear that they might quarrel, I quickly rounded up the scene and said, "if it's really to sell money, it's really not necessary. As for why, I can't tell you for a moment and a half. In short, there are some reasons we must. Don't worry. I'll tell you the truth when it's appropriate."

"If that's the case again, forget it, I won't ask." Roland Dunton said: "time has passed for a long time, and Uncle Xu hasn't come back yet. What should have happened?"

As we spoke, the sky was completely dark and the visibility was reduced to a very limited extent. According to reason, Xu Changfu should be nearby because of the weather and time. He never went too far. However, there was no movement around during this period of time. He didn't come back for a long time, which really makes people uneasy.

I took out my flashlight and was ready to follow. At this time, suddenly there were two gun shots in the woods. The sound was not far away.

Roland said, "ha ha, Uncle Xu must have succeeded. Now, I'll have something to eat in a while."

Xu Changfu originally went to the woods to find wild animals. Now listening to the sound of shooting, we immediately stood in the subjective perspective that he had succeeded. We were also curious about what wild animals he had hunted for us. However, a few minutes after the gunshot, there was no movement in the forest. I said, "Uncle Xu may be lucky to hunt the big guy. Elder martial brother, let's help."

Jiang Yilong naturally has no objection. Just as we were about to start, there was a creaking sound of stepping on the snow in the direction of the forest. The sound seemed very urgent. I took a flashlight to shine in the direction of the forest. I hadn't seen Xu Changfu's figure yet, but I heard him shouting and running. For a moment, we didn't understand the situation at all. Just when we were stunned, Xu Changfu appeared in our sight. He had nothing to hunt except a shotgun.

"It's a blood monkey." Bai Ling said, "there should be seven or eight."

Bai Ling has just finished saying that we have seen a monster with thick hair a few meters behind Xu Changfu. Although we can't see it clearly from some distance, we have seen the corpse of blood monkey before. Just at this glance, we can be sure that it is the wild and ferocious blood monkey who is chasing Xu Changfu. Xu Changfu turned his head and shot. Regardless of whether he had hit or not, he ran desperately towards us.

"Why don't you run?"

"Run, how do you run now?"

At the moment when Xu Changfu just ran back to meet us, there was a movement from East, West, North and south. Not long ago, a blood monkey roared at us like a heavenly soldier. Maybe it was because we burned the fire that these blood monkeys didn't rush over immediately. However, they were surrounded in the center like buckets. Even if it was safe for the time being, we could foresee what would happen if we couldn't escape this disaster.

As soon as my heart sank to the bottom of the valley, I didn't expect Xu Changfu to find prey, poke the wasp's nest, and even attract eight blood monkeys. However, we also know that Xu Changfu is nearby. He hasn't gone far. That is to say, the blood monkey was nearby. Even if Xu Changfu didn't look for prey, sooner or later these guys will come to the door by themselves.

Roland's face was blue with fear. "It's over. It's really over."
